3-Gun Heavy Metal Question

[ClickCL]

Hi, I was curious if you guys knew if the CZ 97b would be allowed in the heavy metal division, at most ranges. I originally purchased it hoping to compete in HM but recently read some official rules online that specified Single Stack Pistols only. I have seen division rules posted elsewhere that didn't specify that requirment. Thanks in advance!

I have shot major matches and only requirement was 45 cal & only 10 rds. I use sti 2011 45acp cause it reloads better.

Another question is 300 blackout allowed in heavy metal and no I have not read the rules I just bought 45 acp and 300 blk.

no blackout
some/most heavy metal allows anything 45acp, he-man is pretty much 1911 45acp

I have yet to hear of let alone shoot a match the mandated the use of a 1911 for HM.

Depending on match, you can use your pistol. Some heavy metal classes require .45 caliber pistol limited to 10 round mags. No restriction on what model of pistol you shoot. Rifle caliber is .30 caliber or larger sometimes with power factor requirement, .300 Blackout does not meet the power factor requirement.

Stand corrected, I thought that was one of the original intentions of Heman and a difference between he man and heavy metal.
Thanks you two, especially Pat for taking time from his busy schedule to help.
